4′-Hydroxyvalerophenone CAS 2589-71-1

1. 4′-Hydroxyvalerophenone is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
2. 4′-Hydroxyvalerophenone CAS 2589-71-1 serves as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex ketones, chalcones, and other fine chemicals.
3. This compound is also utilized in research for developing new materials and as a precursor for fragrances or specialty polymers.

1. Store 4′-hydroxyvalerophenone in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, protected from light and away from heat and ignition sources.
2. Keep the container tightly closed and separated from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and acid chlorides/anhydrides.
3. Handle 4′-Hydroxyvalerophenone CAS 2589-71-1 with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Use a fume hood to avoid inhalation of dust or vapors.

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure ventilation, and wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, goggles, protective clothing).
2. Collect 4′-Hydroxyvalerophenone CAS 2589-71-1 spill with a clean tool. For liquid/melted material, absorb with an inert absorbent (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Place all contaminated material in a sealed hazardous waste container.
3. Prevent the compound from entering drains or the environment. Clean the affected surface thoroughly with an appropriate solvent or detergent, following local regulations.

1. 4′-Hydroxyvalerophenone may be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin, and can cause skin and eye irritation.
2. 4′-Hydroxyvalerophenone CAS 2589-71-1 is combustible and its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air.
3. Always consult the official 4′-hydroxyvalerophenone Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive hazard, handling, and regulatory information.
